Appcompat style error in Android Studio 0.8.2 (beta)


I' ve checked previous questions about Appcompat resource not found questions but non of them solves my problem. I've added appcompat 20.0 to my project as a library and checked whether it is in external libraries folder or not. I 've also checked dependencies in build.gradle and it is also there .But whenever I try to create new style in styles file IDE cannot find @style/Theme.AppCompat.Light. Any Suggestions ?

what I am trying to do (gives errors)

<style name="Theme.myactionbar" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    ...
    items
    ...      
</style>

On the other hand ,I can easily enable theme from manifest under application tag without problem

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"

Solution

  • I have same issue but for me its only IDE issue. When I run the app it work with right theme
